Happy Easter - He is Risen

This morning my kids made us breakfast in bed.  It was so sweet of them.  We went to a lovely outdoor Easter Service and then went out for a nice family lunch.  I feel very blessed.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.  The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.  Do you believe this?"
 John 11:25-26 NIV

Awards Assembly

Today Christian (7th Grade) and Lily (3rd Grade) both received "Character Trait" awards at school.  Lily received an award for "Courage" (Joshua 1:9) and Christian received an award "Respect" (1Thessalonians 5:12-13).  I feel like these character trait awards are a good representation of them and I am so very proud of both of them.  I'm so glad I was able to take off work to be there when they received their awards.

Remember, I commanded you to be strong and brave.  Don't be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. 

Joshua 1:9

 

12.  Now brothers and sisters, we ask you to recognize the value of those who work hard among you--those who, as followers of the Lord, care for you and tell you how to live.  13.  Show them the highest respect and love because of the work they do.  1Thessalonians 5:12-13

This morning my mother-in-law, Grace passed away.  She was 93 years old and had a long and good life.  She was able to recognize all of us even to the very end.  She wasn't in pain and she was comfortable when she passed on to be with her Lord and Savior.  She's left us with a lot of good memories.  We will miss her and she will be in our hearts forever.

 

This photo was taken in December 1997 and this is how I will always remember her.  She always liked to dress nice and have her hair done.  She always wore her gold cross and often wore a pin on her sweater or blouse.  In this photo she's wearing her "Jesus" pin which she wore often.
